Democrats in the media even called Rice Aunt Jemimma on several occasions. There's a good article on that from http://www.capmag.com

Quote:

Look at the treatment of prominent black Republicans like National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and Secretary of State Colin Powell. Liberal critics pull no punches in using race to criticize them. Political cartoonists Pat Oliphant and Jeff Danziger drew political cartoons accentuating Dr. Rice's black features and depict her speaking in rural Southern dialect. Garry Trudeau referred to her as "Brown Sugar" in his comic strip, "Doonesbury." Cartoonist Ted Rall suggested she was President Bush's "house nigga" and recommended "racial re-education."

John "Sly" Sylvester, a white Madison, Wis., radio host, called Rice "Aunt Jemima" and Colin Powell "Uncle Tom." Sylvester at first offered an apology -- to Aunt Jemima. "It is with a heavy heart that I apologize this morning to Aunt Jemima," said Sylvester, for comparing a "strong, independent black woman" like Aunt Jemima to a "self-serving hack politician." Sylvester later issued another "apology," only it demeaned Rice even more: "I'm concerned that I have offended many African Americans by using a crass term to describe an incompetent, dishonest, political appointee of the Bush administration, I apologize. . . . She has allowed herself to be used as a black trophy . . . "
